Overview

The Mersen OTS150 is a Class K5 fast-acting fuse engineered for general-purpose protection of feeder and branch circuits in both residential and small commercial applications. Specifically designed for non-motor loads such as lighting and heating circuits, this blade-type Amp-Trap® fuse delivers reliable overcurrent protection where fast response is critical. Rated at 150A, the OTS150 operates at a voltage rating of 600VAC and 300VDC, making it suitable for a wide range of electrical systems. With an interrupting rating of 50,000 amperes (50kA IR AC) for AC circuits and 20,000 amperes (20kA IR DC) for DC circuits, the OTS150 ensures robust safety by safely interrupting high short-circuit currents. Its blade connection design simplifies installation and replacement, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. The fuse’s fast-acting response minimizes damage to downstream equipment, providing cost-effective protection in applications where rapid fault clearance is essential. Key specifications include a voltage rating of 600VAC/300VDC, an amperage rating of 150A, and interrupting ratings of 50kA IR AC/20kA IR DC. The OTS150 is part of Mersen’s Amp-Trap® series, known for high-performance fuses that meet stringent safety and reliability standards.
